I once called police about a car theft on a property I managed. We had had footage of the theft, the thieves, their getaway car, their license plates, their entry and exit, their faces visible on every camera. It took the cops two weeks to drop by to collect the footage and take a report, and they looked so annoyed, and didn’t even pretend to care. They straight up told me nothing would come of it.
But if you’re a corporation, they’re all over that shit. Minor shop lifting? Cops are there in minutes. It’s become clear over the last few years who the police work for, and it’s not us, the little people who pay taxes.
Not to be a devil’s advocate but the little people aren’t paying taxes. The top 20% pay the taxes for the most part, the problem is the money in the first place giving too small of a group of people too much say in how everyone lives.
You do realize there are states where there is NO income tax, and everything is funded by regressive sales taxes that hit the poor and lower income brackets MUCH harder?
TX and WA for example.
The ‘little people’ as you so eloquently fucking put it, are paying WAY more taxes than they should, and the ‘fat greedy bastard’ people have accounting teams to prevent that for themselves. What an ignorant take. Fucking christ man stop licking boots and educate yourself.

As a case study… (To be clear, every link below is regarding the same incident)
Elderly lady with dementia has shoulder dislocated for goods she didn’t mean to take, and no longer possessed.
Officer put on “leave.” Worthless response, a clear covering of the ass when public outcry began.
Then this comes out:
Cops laugh about the “pop” in the bodycam footage while she lay in earshot without receiving any medical treatment.
So eventually, after massive public outcry and multiple videos showing what pieces of shit these cops were, eventually, something resembling justice was served.

Wouldn’t the getaway car in a car robbery be the car they’re in the midst of stealing?
Do you mean the “get to the job” car?
It was a group of like 4 guys in one car, half left in the stolen car and the others left in their original car

I’ve paid more taxes in the past ten years than Donald Ass-Burglar Trump.

Devil’s advocate? You’re parroting words from the Devil himself.
